How To Get Started In Cybersecurity And Find A Fulfilling And High-Paying Role That Actually Fits You

Cyber Paths 101 is a free, self-paced course that helps you explore all 14 major areas of cybersecurity, from threat intel to red teaming to GRC and beyond, so you can figure out which path actually fits you. It's the course I wish I had when I was starting out and had no idea what any of these roles meant.

You get instant access to 14 bite-sized lessons that break down what each cyber domain is, what kind of person thrives in it, example roles, pay ranges, certifications, learning resources, and reflection prompts to help you assess if it’s a good match for your strengths and interests.

We walk through each path one by one, with plain-English breakdowns, real-world examples, and personality-based recommendations. No fluff. No tech jargon. You’ll walk away knowing which roles match you, what to explore next, and how to stop spinning in circles.

That’s exactly who this was built for. You don’t need to know how to code. You don’t need a computer science degree. You just need curiosity, and a willingness to explore. There are so many cyber careers that don’t require technical skills, and we show you what they are.

Nope! This isn’t a course that teaches you how to do the job. It’s a course that helps you discover which job you should actually pursue, before you waste time or money on certs that don’t match your goals.

Most people tell me just watching the first 3-4 modules gave them a massive “aha” moment. If you binge it all in one sitting, you’ll be walking away with a personalized action plan in under 90 minutes.

You’re not. I’ve worked with people in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s who made the transition, and thrived. Cybersecurity needs people with diverse life experience, maturity, and fresh perspectives. It’s never too late to step into a role that fits you.

Most people try by chasing random certs or signing up for courses they think they need, without even knowing what job they want. This flips that. We start with clarity first, so you actually know where to focus your energy (and where not to).

There is no catch. This is the first step into my larger mentorship community, Cyber Career Club. I want to earn your trust by helping you get clarity before you invest in anything else. If it’s helpful, you’ll know where to go next.
